Mix 2 of 2 of my now defunct Invers project.

- ALL-OUT -
"using all one's strength or resources."

A practice of openness, vulnerability and trust.
An expression of chaos.. tempered with intellect and focus. 
An all-out expression of passion, psychedelia and love. 

Many thanks to the artists and labels putting this music out - you make my life brighter every day..
And a big thank-you to all of the beautiful people in my life, life would be so very empty without you.

Recorded on Pioneer XDJ-R1 (no sync).
Art by Invers.

All-Out

- NIGHT TERRORS -
"Terror by day, terror by night,
Gauntlets of faith, hollow inside.
Best laid plans, lost in sight,
Purpose and meaning become benign.

Find your courage, find your spine,
Nothing can kill your right to life.
In your own self, become and entwine,
Face yourself and embrace the light."

A return to my psychedelic roots and a journey into the aggressive and twisted side of Twilight Psytrance.
Shed your pain and anguish, throw yourself into the fire - submit to the raw power of psychedelic full-on.

Dedicated to my beautiful friend Myia - you inspired me to record this mix many months ago and you've left a hole in my heart that will never be filled. 
Rest easy gorgeous.

World Underground V/A (Assembled by Archive and Dirge)

- NIGHTMARES -
"A nightmare, to be fair.. but not one borne of despair
One borne of fire and air
One to rip and tear
Through the mind, the soul and the spirit..

A nightmare, not intended to scare
But as a night-time prayer
Whilst we glare at the soul, as we stare
At a collective no-one, a collective no-where."

A slightly re-arranged / re-recorded version of the closing set on Ascension Stage @ Esoteric 2019. 
To everyone who was there to rip it up with me.. thank you!
Enjoy the music :)

- CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT -
"We are the storm, the outcast and scorned;
Powerful in number and wise in form.
We face our terror with our shadow adorned;
We are what's broken and we are reborn.

With freedom we move, through struggle we're torn;
We see our darkness, our crown of thorns;
Through life we fear, through life we mourn;
We are the children whose fate is sworn."

A re-recording of my set @ Ergot Gathering 2019 btwn 11.30pm and 1.30am on Saturday night!

To all of you who were there with me @ Ergot, thank you for your energy and your presence - it's been a while since I played a set with that much crowd engagement and energy and I loved every moment of it!

THANK YOU!

The Night Ritual Pt. 3 - Children of the Night

Mix 1 of 2 of my now defunct Invers project.

"Ollin, pronounced ALL-in, is an expression of immense depth that conveys intense and immediate movement.
Stemming from the ancient Nahuatl language, Ollin is derived from "yollotl", meaning heart, and "yolistli", meaning life.
Ollin means to move and act now with all your heart."

A compilation of some of the hardest-hitting, most psychedelic tunes I have found from around the globe.
Ft. tunes from stompin' Italian label Blacklite Records as well as bangin' Brazillian label Mosaico Records - highly recommend!
It is time to go All-In!

2. Groovebox - Reality - Blacklite Records

- BIO -
Dirge is the Twilight Psytrance project of Melbourne born Mike O'Shard.

For 11 years he has spread a strange and sinister signal across Australian dance floors - a dark broadcast transmitted by shadow; a message sent by the frequency of night.

Mike managed the Ascension Stage at Esoteric Festival in Australia between 2017 - 2024, and currently represents MMD Records from Cape Town, South Africa as a label DJ.


- CONCEPT -
A 'Dirge' is defined as a lament for the dead; as a mournful song, piece of music or sound. 

Almost a decade ago in the moonlit forest of Mount Disappointment, a strange message was received. The message began as a barely perceptible hum underneath the noise of the local broadcast network, and was transmitted with one purpose - to corrupt the mind of a local human target and spread.. relentlessly. 

Within the darker reaches of its human host body's imagination, this message would bide its time and grow as a quiet voice in the darkness - as a ghost in the machine - until one day, it would be noticed.

On the surface, all was normal. It was a day like any other, until a disruption was felt within the network. The disruption was felt as a slight shimmer; a most subtle shift in the pitch of the broadcast's frequency.

For one small moment, the broadcast faltered, and faded. A team was deployed to investigate. 

Investigating the disruption, the message was discovered and identified as virulent. It had grown in such great measure over time that the network's signal, once thought to be untouchable, had been hijacked entirely. The broadcast signal was now a distorted and ghostly shadow of its former self. 

The report made by the team investigating the anomaly concluded that the disruption had not been felt within the original network; there was nothing of that network left. The disruption had been felt at the very moment that the last remainders of the original network were extinguished.

No-one had noticed the message spread, nor detected the signal's growth. No-one had heard it whisper as it redirected every connection on the network's server. No-one had heard its screams of contempt and rage as it ceaselessly multiplied itself in the background. 

In the final moments of transmission, a new message was received - one word uttered in an unfamiliar tongue, in an endlessly repeating loop - "Dirge..."
